Relativistic Random-Phase Approximation

TLDR
The relativistic random phase approximation (RRPA) as discussed by the authors was developed from linearized time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory and applied to determine excitation energies and oscillator strengths along the He, Be, Mg, Zn and Ne isoelectronic sequences.
Abstract
The relativistic random phase approximation RRPA is developed from linearized time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. Applications of the resulting relativistic many-body equations to determine excitation energies and oscillator strengths along the He, Be, Mg, Zn and Ne isoelectronic sequences are discussed and compared with other recent experimental and theoretical work. The multi-channel RRPA treatment of photoionization is described and applications are given to total cross sections, branching ratios, angular distributions and to autoionizing resonances.

Beyond the dipole approximation: angular-distribution effects in valence photoemission

TL;DR: In this article, angle-resolved-photo-emission measurements of valence photoelectrons with higher multipole photon interactions have been studied. And the results suggest that any photoemission experiment, on any sample, can be affected at relatively low photon energies.
